What is a Merchant Cash Advance?

A merchant cash advance- also called an MCA, is not a loan but an advance of cash based on your business's future revenues. You pay this advance with an automated withdrawal via ACH directly from your business banking account. The amount is set beforehand with a percentage of your daily bank balance (usually daily or weekly, but terms and qualifications can vary). Merchant cash advances are ideal for small businesses that require capital quickly to cover cash flow swings or short-term high-yield investments. When opportunity strikes, that's where revenue-based business advances like this one shine.

How does a Merchant Cash Advance Work?

Small businesses depend on constant and sufficient availability of cash to keep running. With this liquidity, the company can thrive in the sea of operating expenses and take advantage of opportunities due lack of investment capital. For example, your business may need more goods and supplies or pay for equipment repair, or a project requires some upfront spending.

After applying for an advance, fundu looks at the average worth of deposits to your business banking account that can be considered revenue. We then decide how much advancement you should receive at a specific factor rate. Your advance should be in your business bank account between one and three days after starting the process. After that, you will repay your advance by releasing an agreed-upon percentage of your future sales.

Depending on your agreement with fundu , you could repay your advance daily and sometimes weekly. Also, it's refreshing to know that your payback will only take a specific amount based on the agreed-upon percentage, so you always know what to expect.

Merchant Cash Advance Payback & Factor Rate?

The payback rate of an MCA is the percentage of advance that the business will pay back in addition to the actual worth of the advance. For example, if an advance of $10,000 has a factor of 45%, the business will pay back the advance amount plus the factor rate. That is $10,000 + $4,500 (45%), amounting to $14,500 in total payback.

Another way of referring to the cost of capital is the "factor rate," which is essentially the same as the payback rate. You can find out the total payback amount for an MCA by multiplying the factor rate by the principal. Using our previous example, a principal of $10,000 multiplied by a factor rate of 1.45 will give a payback amount of $14,500. Payback/factor rates vary based on several factors.

What Other Business Owners Say

“I already had an existing dry cleaning business in another city, and an opportunity came to expand. We tried to go through traditional banks and private lenders, but unfortunately, the experience was very difficult and the terms were even harder. I called fundu, and within two days I was able to get the funds that I needed. We were able to improve our business and the process was very, very easy.”

Manuela Fuentes. Cleaners. Miami, FL

“I own a small but well know pizza place in NJ. Right before the weekend, our main stove broke. No way to repair. Our service technician contacted us with fundu. Mr Pineyro started the process on Saturday morning. By Saturday 1pm or so, I had my $15,000 wired to me. Amazing. I will always use them when I need money for my business"

Antonio Russo, Pizza Owner, NJ

“My credit score is low. I needed $20,000 to close on a great business expansion opportunity that was going to 5X my investment. I tried your larger internet funding companies and they all denied me for a mmillion reasons. A fellow business associate had a great experience with fundu. Skeptical at first and with not much hope, I called them. The entire team at fundu made me feel so special. Literally within 1 day, they called me in joy saying I was approved for $20,000. I will forver be grateful for them.”

Latesha Wilkens, SPA Owner, Texas

"fundu gave me the money and attention I needed when I needed it. I was a fairly new business (4 months old). My sales were good but my credit was in the low 600's. I was denied elsewhere. I called fundu after they were highly recommended from a local business association I am a member of. Besides the fact they got me funded for $32,500 they gave me so much attention. They gave me great business advice that I follow til this day. Thank you fundu!"
